…the largest genetic impact on alcoholism should be not having alcohol dehydrogenase, that is, not being able to break down alcohol in a half-way sensible manner. “Asian flush syndrome”. Might be present in immigrant populations, but those don’t tend to be the ones culturally transferring British binging culture.

That’s an indication that genetic factors might be at play, not a proof that they are - let alone a proof that “alcoholism is genetic”.
As per Wikipedia: it’s complex, but “Genetic factors account for 40–60% of the risk factors for alcoholism.”

You inherit more things then your gens from your parents, namely they are the ones who raise you
That’s . . true. ?
Yes, and means you have not by any means proven to me that alcoholism is genetic, only that it’s inherited from your parents
Well, you’ve run rings around me logically.
